A Texas school district that included masks as part of its dress code has been hit with a temporary restraining order.
Paris Independent School District , which serves about 3,900 students in northeast Texas, amended its dress code in early August to include masks in a loophole to Gov. Greg Abbott's ban on mandates, and was sued earlier this week by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, according to court documents.
A Lamar County district court issued the temporary restraining order, prohibiting Paris ISD from enforcing the mandate as a result. The court agreed that the district lacks"authority to issue or enforce a face mask mandate in light of Governor Abbott's executive order GA-38," Paxton's office said in aTexas Attorney General Ken Paxton speaks a press conference in Austin, Texas, on May 1, 2018.
He said the district wasn't given a copy of the lawsuit until after the restraining order was signed. There will be a hearing Sept. 21 where the court will consider whether or not to rescind the restraining order. Paxton has a list of over 80 school districts and other governmental entities that he deems in violation of GA-38.
